For Sinusitis Although there should be no negative drug interaction with this antibiotic and other medication I take daily, I had a severe allergic reaction: swelling of throat and tongue, vertigo and dizziness, bad taste in my mouth (even days after) and vomiting. I'm on my third day of the medication now and still feel sick and "weird". My throat and tongue are no longer swollen, but all my muscles hurt and my skin feels painful, also major headache and very sleepy.

For Sinusitis It worked however on the fifth day of taking it i had an Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Later found out there was a study out that confirmed hearth Rythym issues.

For Acne it’s been two months since I started using doxycycline. Guys, oh boy, it TRULY gets worse before it gets better. It took so long for me to see any improvement. Now a few parts of my face are pretty clear, but I've still got a ways to go. I think doxycycline is worth a try, but know what you’re getting into. It won’t get better in a week like I thought it would, it’s a long process.

For Acne I went on Doxycycline about 7 months ago, after having mild to moderate acne that was persistent. I tried everything from topical treatments to every face wash out there, to drug store blemish topical treatments, to birth control, to eating healthfully and cutting out gluten and dairy. At first, Doxycycline initially made me break out worse than before but after a month my skin was spotless. It remained 100% clear and I thought I had found my "miracle fix."Sadly, last month I went off of the drug and my face broke out worse than it ever has before. After some research, I found out it was because antibiotics kill both the good and the bad bacteria in our gut, and we need good bacteria in order to have a healthy digestive tract. I have started taking a Probiotic in hopes it will replenish the good bacteria in my intestine. If you are taking Doxy, YOU MUST BE TAKING A PROBIOTIC AT THE SAME TIME! I am shocked doctors don't have to prescribe it along with the prescription.I hope this helps!
